EL55 and EL53 ascend the last obstacle between them and the Austar Mine at Bellbird, south of Cessnock. Despite the operational section of the South Maitland Railway being rather short compared to some of the long-haul Hunter Valley Coal runs, it's still taken AS239 almost two hours to transit the section from the junction at Maitland. This is largely due to the poor quality of the line requiring trains to operate a very slow speeds.
The Pacific National SMR coal trains is currently the last regular operation for the EL Class, sadly once again displaced from service with other operators by more modern horsepower.

The Greenstone Trail runs the length of Isle Royale. We used it as the centerpiece our trip, while hiking various parallel trails and connectors too.
I think the trees are mostly sugar maples.

Aside from not having enough bon mots, I was really trying to get creative with the way I was shooting this little wonder. I didn't want to just have head-on shots where we're looking at its back the whole time. I really wanted to make it a dynamic subject that seemed like it was bigger than it really was. Well, we'll say that, anyhow.
